Spotlight: Fashion Revolution Week

"Looking good can be extremely bad for the planet," stated a recent headline in The Economist. I tend to agree. For nearly a decade, I have been thinking about and working on ways to change this. Because clothing isn’t inherently bad. In most cultures, it’s necessary. It can be empowering and liberating. It’s a powerful representation to the outside world of who you are and what you stand for.

But is that representation an accurate one? Does it align with your values and what you believe in? Most people don't know, which is why the folks behind Fashion Revolution Week are trying to push for greater transparency in the fashion industry by encouraging consumers to ask themselves and their favorite brands a simple question: "Who made my clothes?” This year's campaign — which commemorates the fourth anniversary of the horrific collapse of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh — kicks off next week.
